Partners in life and law, attorneys Michael and Shelice Tolbert of Tolbert & Tolbert, LLC are kicking 2024 off with impressive legal designations.

Recently, the American Law Institute (ALI) elected Attorney Shelice R. Tolbert as a part its newest class. Members bring their expertise to ALI’s work of clarifying the law through Restatements, Principles, and Model Codes. Members were selected from confidential nominations submitted by ALI members.

“I am always grateful for the opportunity to offer my legal skills and expertise particularly when the potential outcome is positive change,” said Atty. Shelice R. Tolbert. “I look forward to serving with my distinguished colleagues as we effectively examine the law while offering revisions and solutions.”

“For the past 100 years, The American Law Institute has aspired to strengthen and improve the legal system,” said ALI President David F. Levi. “Our greatest asset has always been our extraordinary members’ dedication of time, intellect, and energy to our projects. As we close out this 100th Anniversary year and enter the Institute’s second century, I look forward to seeing the ways in which this class will continue our tradition of excellence in promoting and protecting the rule of law.”

The Litigation Counsel of America has named Atty. Michael E. Tolbert “Senior Fellow.” This high profile designation places the firm on a broader, national legal landscape increasing visibility and the potential for more litigation opportunities.

“I am humbled by this designation and grateful for such an exclusive invitation,” said Atty. Michael E. Tolbert. “God continues to bless our firm, and we are committed to serving our clients with passion and integrity.”

The Litigation Counsel of America is a trial lawyer honorary society made up of only 3,500 trial lawyers in the United States. Less than one-half of one percent of American lawyers make up the group that is vigorously vetted for skills, expertise, and service.  It is an invitation-only network of lawyers who effectively represent clients across North America and around the world.

Fellows are selected based upon excellence and accomplishment in litigation, both at the trial and appellate levels, and superior ethical reputation.
